Flow-through brush liquid applicator and method of making it

An applicator comprising:

• a plurality of containers;
• a plurality of nibs each adapted to receive a fluid from a corresponding one of the plurality of containers and impart the fluid to a surface upon contact with a nib, wherein at least one of said plurality of nibs comprises a brush and brush holder;
• said brush being formed to have a central opening and being inserted into said brush holder having an opening, with the opening of the brush holder extending part-way into the central opening of the brush, one end of the brush being within an annular groove circumscribing the opening in the brush holder;
• a connecting member;
• said plurality of containers being connected together by said connecting member, whereby an individual container and its corresponding nib may be used to apply fluid to said surface;
• and
• a plurality of removable top portions each of which removably covers a corresponding nib when sealed to its corresponding container until the seal is broken, whereby the nib is enclosed by its corresponding container and removable top portion until the container is to be used to apply the fluid to a surface.

An applicator comprising:

• a plurality of containers;
• a plurality of nibs each adapted to receive a fluid from a corresponding one of the plurality of containers and impart the fluid to a surface upon contact with a nib, wherein at least one of said plurality of nibs is a brush type applicator nib having a plurality of bristles and including at its outlet an outer shell and an inner shell holding the bristles and forming a bristle-lined tubular-cylindrical outlet, the interior of the inner shell communicating with the interior of a container at one end and with its outlet at the other end through a circle of bristles;
• a connecting member;
• said plurality of containers being connected together by said connecting member, whereby an individual container and its corresponding nib may be used to apply fluid to said surface;
• and
• a plurality of removable top portions each of which removably covers a corresponding nib when sealed to its corresponding container until the seal is broken, whereby the nib is enclosed by its corresponding container and removable top portion until the container is to be used to apply the fluid to a surface.

An applicator comprising:

• an applicator nib;
• an applicator nib holder adapted to connect to a fluid container and provide fluid communication between the contents of the container and the nib;
• said nib including a brush;
• said brush being formed to have a central opening and being inserted into a brush holder having an opening, with the opening of the brush holder extending part-way into the central opening of the brush, one end of the brush being within an annular groove circumscribing the opening in the brush holder;
• wherein the nib includes at its outlet an outer shell and an inner shell holding the brush and forming a bristle-lined tubular-cylindrical outlet, wherein the interior of the inner shell communicates with the interior of the container at one end and with its outlet at the other end through a circle of bristles.

An applicator comprising:

• a plurality of containers;
• a plurality of nibs each adapted to receive a fluid from a corresponding one of the plurality of containers and impart the fluid to a surface upon contact with a nib;
• a connecting member, wherein the connecting member is a thin, flat plastic member and each of the plurality of containers includes a corresponding flat bottom sealed to said thin, flat plastic members;
• said plurality of containers being connected together by said connecting member, whereby an individual container and its corresponding nib may be used to apply fluid to said surface;
• and
• a plurality of removable top portions each of which removably covers a corresponding nib when sealed to its corresponding container until the seal is broken, whereby the nib is enclosed by its corresponding container and removable top portion until the container is to be used to apply the fluid to a surface.
